We would never recoup the cost of instalation, let alone adding the cost of replacing the batteries in the future. have you priced those yet? Alas we just pay our power bills and try to keep the costs down as much as possible.

What did the system cost? Does it use a battery bank? How long will the batteries last before you have to replace them (I have heard 8 years and am curious what you have been told)? We were asking how long it would be before you recoup what you spent because to me 5 years might be acceptable(maybe even 10) but 20 or 30 would not be acceptable to me.(Um,,I would likely be dead by then). Even though it may look like free power, it isn't- but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want it, I just need to know everything first :)becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2969479025074028534.post-73354036941851446882011-12-18T23:12:48.028+11:002011-12-18T23:12:48.028+11:00Good Morning, Angela!
